German ministry denies Bundesbank gold sale report

Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:45am EDT

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Finance Ministry said on Saturday a magazine report that the government wants the Bundesbank to sell some of its gold reserves to help ease pressure on the federal budget was untrue.
Der Spiegel magazine reported in a preview of its latest edition that Finance Ministry State Secretary Werner Gatzer had proposed selling part of the central bank's gold reserves, currently worth around 65 billion euros ($103 billion).
According to the plan, the proceeds could then be either invested to earn interest or debt could be paid off freeing up cash that would have been used to for interest payments, the magazine said, citing unidentified participants in a March 13 meeting of budget experts.
"This claim is untrue," Finance Ministry spokesman Torsten Albig said in an emailed statement.
"State Secretary Gatzer has at no time raised the issue of such a proposal. The Finance Ministry considers such a debate neither appropriate nor likely to lead to the desired results.
"The Bundesbank's gold reserves are not available to be used for budgetary purposes."
Germany is a signatory to the Central Bank Gold Agreement, under which 15 European central banks agreed to limit their sales of gold over a five-year period to 2,500 tonnes, with annual sales limited to 500 tonnes.
Bundesbank President Axel Weber said this month the bank would probably hold on to the vast bulk of its reserves in the next year of the agreement, beginning in September.The Bundesbank is the second-largest holder of gold behind the U.S. Federal Reserve and announced in October it would sell a maximum of 8 tonnes of gold to the finance ministry to mint coins in the fourth year of the agreement.
Gold prices have more than doubled in the last five years, lifting the value of central bank reserves.

The Bundesbank is the world's second-largest holder of gold after the U.S. Federal Reserve, and has sold just 20 tonnes out of total reserves of over 3,000 tonnes in the past five years.

UPDATE July 1, 2010: EVEN MUCH GREATER SHOCKER!

"The force" is with this story. Just as there is sudden intense interest in Israel - this post appeared on Rotter today and went viral right away- , I received an e-mail from my friend, Eric J. Phelps, author of Vatican's Assassins I, II, III.

Washington: Former Yugoslavia was a vast killing ground during the Second World War when hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Christians, Jews, and Roma were murdered by the Nazis and their Croatian Allies. It has long been known that some of the loot including a significant amount gold from concentration camps ended up at the Vatican Bank deposited there by Catholic clergy acting on behalf of war criminals.

Although the Holocaust Survivors sued the Vatican Bank in US federal court, the case was recently dismissed in March 2010 on grounds of Vatican sovereign immunity from lawsuit in the United States. Alperin v. Vatican Bank, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,Case No. 09-17761, 08-16060.

The Vatican may have breathed a sign of relief after the long running (ten years) lawsuit seemed to finally die. However, Holocaust Survivors have now requested the European Central Bank to open an investigation of Vatican money laundering and possible use of concentration camp gold in the minting of Euro coins by the Vatican.

According to attorney Jonathan Levy who represented the Holocaust Survivors in the US courts, the Vatican in a rare departure from its usual policy agreed to place itself under the jurisdiction of the European Union in order to obtain the right to coin Euros. The agreement between the EU and the Vatican expressly contains provisions regarding prevention of money laundering further it is presumed the beleaguered European Central Bank would frown upon the possibility that concentration camp gold might be used to finance or mint Euro coins.

The Holocaust Survivors are requesting the European Central Bank investigate the allegations and that holders of Vatican Euro coins mail them back to the Vatican and request certification that concentration camp gold was not used in the minting or financing of these coins.

This is the book written by Jonathan Levy about the Vatican 's role in the Ustasha massacres

Now that the Vatican is finally coming into focus, thank God, for all the evil it has done, and continues to do, behind the scenes, it is becoming "permissible", I would even say fashionable, to expose the Vatican's pervasive guilt regarding the Jewish People.

Please make sure to read and watch the following posts, which will open your eyes, if they aren't open yet:

Once you are done viewing this, do a search with the label "Vatican schemes and lies". You will be amazed what pops up. Maybe after all this time ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES will finally be vindicated? For how long have I been pounding into people's consciousness that we are barking up the wrong tree, that we are not dealing with the REAL power behind the scenes.

Notice that the YouTube video exposing the role of the Vatican in the Ustasha massacres was taken down from YouTube. Do not be surprised, the Vatican has very, very powerful friends everywhere.

Has your fortune been stolen? Did it ever exist in the first place? Gold storage today is the greatest temptation in the history of the world!

There are shocking signs that gold held "in storage," "in the system," has in fact been stolen from you just as it was stolen from the Jewish survivors after the end of the Second World War. We know that there is a history of this in Europe and elsewhere that when the surviving Jewish depositors demanded their gold from banks, their request was denied because of the need to fulfill banking regulations concerning proof of ownership. Time has revealed that the truth was many of the grand mansions on the great lakes of Europe were built with the gold that was denied to the lawful relatives of those Jewish people that had died during the war.

What makes you think the modern, generally despised, considered ignorant and less than worthy as an investor Gold Bugs are looked on with different eyes by bankers in the system than the Gold Bugs of Germany, France, Poland and Austria were?

The sign that your gold does not exist and may never have existed is the same evidence that has been gathered from the rape of the surviving Jewish families of the last world war. The "in system" storage companies of banks will inform you that banking regulations first limit, then prevent you from obtaining your gold bullion held even in an allocated form. It will start as a limitation on gold withdrawal as a tool to prevent "money laundering" due to directives from their central bank concerning anti terrorism measures. If you hear that you are royally screwed. Was that not a form of what the surviving Jews were told? A bank regulation prevented them from getting their gold. It was not common shares or German marks they stored in the European banking system. It was primarily gold bullion.

Am Yisrael wants the Temple rebuilt!

A survey conducted by the Panels Insitute revealed that 64 % of the Israeli public , and half of secular Israelis, want the Temple rebuilt. 97% of respondents know that the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av ( Ninth of Av).

The survey's second question queried the public’s desire to rebuild the Temple. Sixty-four percent responded favorably and 36 percent said no. Analysis of the answers revealed that not only hareidi-religious and other religious Jews want to rebuild the Temple, (100 percent and 97 percent respectively), but also the traditional public (91 percent) and many secular Jews (47 percent) do as well.

Just a reminder to our many enemies, specially 'you know who' (below ), from Isaiah the Prophet:

Isaiah 49:24-26

"Can prey be taken back from a strong one; can the righteous captive escape?

But thus said Hashem: Even the captive of the strong can be taken back, and the prey of the mighty can escape; I, Myself, will take up your cause, and I, MYSELF, WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN.

And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh, and as with sweet wine shall they become drunk; then all flesh shall know that I am Hashem, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel."

Words of wisdom: what to do to save lives and preserve freedom of the Jewish People in Israel:

... Coming from a traditionally very passive and peaceful sector, United Torah Judaism:

"There was no reason for [the mother] to be in jail... Now we all understand that these things can be stopped by burning garbage and ripping out traffic lights”

MK Meir Porush, UTJ - about the riots in Jerusalem

A word of wisdom...coming from what was once the Land of the Free...

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."Samuel Adams, American Revolutionary

Very appropriate quote , although more than a century old.

"There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech,

but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press."

--Mark Twain

... And more truths about truth:

"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.

To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing.

Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."

"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."Dresden James.

We live in times of unprecedented dangers, therefore,

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing, because he could only do a little."

PICTORIAL REVIEW OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN GUSH KATIF

Here below, you will be able to see for yourselves what REALLY happened during the Gush Katif expulsion; how the GOOD JEWS of ISRAEL were BETRAYED by their so-called leaders.

Link provided by Barry Chamish.

Now you understand whom we are dealing with in this country: TRAITORS. They pretend to have the nation's best interests at heart, but this is all a mirage, a lie; either they are self-serving, or THEY WORK FOR THE ENEMY, and they cannot be trusted.

Only TRUE and FAITHFUL LEADERSHIP will get us out of this morass; AND G-D'S INFINITE MERCY, B"H.

We are waiting for Mashiach to come and rescue us; meanwhile, we do what we can to HELP THE GEULAH.

QUOTES BY THE ENEMY, AND ABOUT THE ENEMY'S TACTICS

Here below are quotes related to the enemy's nature, tactics and philosophy.

Always remember: LEARN FROM YOUR ENEMY, EMULATE HIM, but for the FORCES OF GOOD!

Whenever he does A, do A, in reverse.

He does B, do B, in reverse.

We might not have his financial resources or capabilities, but we have a much greater ally: HASHEM.

Remember David and Goliath. We are David, and with God's help, we can defeat Goliath. All we have to do is UNMASK THE EVIL GIANT, UNMASK HIS TACTICS, UNDERSTAND HIS DECEPTIONS, AND EXPOSE THEM TO THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF DAY.

AND PRAY TO GOD FOR HELP.

AND ALWAYS, ONLY STRIVE TO DO GOOD,

SO THAT WE CAN BE A FORCE OF GOOD AGAINST THESE MESSENGERS OF DARKNESS.

"PROPAGANDA CANNOT TAKE TIME OFF"

"Propaganda cannot take time off"

... one of the key rules ofmodern disinformation, which is that the required message must be repeated very frequently if it is to pass...

THE STATE IS THE ENEMY!

"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the ... public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security.

This is the political logic which remains behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened."

OBAMA THE MUSLIM

THE DARK SIDE OF THE U.S.A.: AS IN SERBIA, SO IN YESHA...

... in 1998, the US State Department and intelligence agencies decided to use the Kosovo Liberation Army to get rid of Slobodan Miloševic. "The US agenda was clear. When the time was right they were going to use the KLA to provide the solution to the political problem" – the "problem" being, as Marshall explains earlier, Miloševic’s continued political survival. This meant supporting the KLA’s terrorist secessionism, and later fighting a war against Yugoslavia on its side. Marshall quotes Mark Kirk, a US naval intelligence officer, saying that, "Eventually we opened up a huge operation against Miloševic, both secret and open." The secret part of the operation involved not only things like stuffing the various observer missions which were sent into Kosovo with officers from the British and American intelligence services, but also – crucially – giving military, technical, financial, logistical and political support to the KLA, which, as Marshall himself admits, "smuggled drugs, ran prostitution rackets and murdered civilians.""Bags of money had been brought in for years....Organisations controlled by George Soros also played a crucial role, as they were later to do, in 2003–4, in Georgia....The so-called "democrats" were, in reality, nothing but foreign agents."

Land of Israel Crusader

I am a Jew living in the Land of Judea (Eretz Yehuda), which was given to us, the Jewish people, by G-D Himself. I love this place very much; I will do my best to develop it, cherish it, protect it, turn it into the paradise it was always meant to be - and defend it against any and all enemies of Am Yisrael.
